Does copyedit mean copyright. Tell me what it means. Otherwise i think its copyright. S25265 message? 12:50, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Here are the definitions of the two words, from the lead paragraphs in the Simple English Wikipedia (linked):
  • Copyedit:[1] "Copy editing, or sub-editing, is the work an editor does to improve the style or accuracy of a text. The revised text should be more readable and sometimes more interesting after the editing. Also, punctuation and grammar may need correcting, but without changing the writer's general style."
  • Copyright:[2] "Copyright is a law that gives the owner of a work (for example, a book, movie, picture, song or website) the right to say how other people can use it. Copyright laws make it easier for authors to make money by selling their works. It is one part of a group of laws about intellectual property (the others being trademark and patent law). It helps protect authors from other people copying their works without permission and/or for commercial purposes."
Copyediting is a higher level of proofreading: that's mostly small changes like fixing typos, spelling, and capitalization. Copyediting can change the wording of sentences ("syntax"), especially when the writer of the text is a non-native speaker. It's different from "text editing" which usually changes the content.
